President Obama
The Clinic: Pot is Healthful, Not Harmful
Although, while the President's move to evolve on the marijuana issue certainly helps the cause, it's still hard to stomach hearing him say cannabis is "not very different" from tobacco cigarettes. Because right off the top of my head, I can think of a...
Baracka: 'I put a nice suit on and got some marijuana'
In honor of President Obama joining us in telling the world that marijuana is no more dangerous than alcohol, we had to go for the throwback spoof. Here is Baracka Flacka Flames.

An original short story by New York Times best-selling author David Baldacci.
Frank Becker is a highly sought after, expert assassin. When Becker takes a mysterious job, he has no idea that it will force him to delve deeply into his own past. Undeterred by obstacles, he is determined to complete his assignment. But he may realize too late that his success will permanently alter his future.
©2011 David Baldacci (P)2011 Hachette
"I don't understand how people feel ripped off"
If a book, or short story in this case, costs less than $2 and you used a credit on it instead of just purchasing it you are a moron no matter how good or bad it is since credits cost more than $2. If a book costs less than a credit you should always purchase it instead of using a credit. Also, it clearly states that it is a short story, so again, if you feel ripped off you are a moron. People are always looking for someone else to blame for their own stupidity.
"Scott Brick is incredible, as always"
The ending to the story is somewhat foreseeable, but Scott Brick a tour de force! He was one of the first narrators I ever heard in Audible, and I still think he is among the greats! His reading is so superb, he actually makes the story better than it might have been. He is completely believable as the character.
"No Time Lift"
Absolutely the most surprising short story I have every listened too. I have given this title to every audio listener I can.
"Surprising expected ending"
The story started out really well. Once the time travel condrum was played out the ending was, well predictable.
First performance I heard and it was fine.
Go back in time and kill it.
I am an Avid Reader, I love all different kinds of books, from Mystery to Sci Fi and Horror.
"Good read, too short"
Not # one, but still a good listen.
I can't say without ruining the book for others, but it was great
when he was explaining how he wanted to be able to blow smoke rings like his father, it was funny to me.
I know this review is sort of vague, but with this being a short story, it's kind of hard to comment on it without ruining it for possible buyers. It is a very good book though.
"Waste of good money"
It is like 30 min long. Do not get tricked into spending good money for this. The story is something a 10 year old could wright
"Obvious Short Story"
The story was painfully obvious less than half way through. Other than that it was good.
"Typical but Good Baldacci"
As usual, the only place on earth to write about is Washington DC and northern Virginia, but that said this was a very good Baldacci thriller and a nice length for an all day cross state car ride allowing time for 'tape breaks' ... The 12 hour tapes are just too much in one day
No favorite
One Tough Sister
I just finished listening to this audiobook and find myself confused. I would describe the actual book to be a fair to middling short story more equatable to Stephen King than David Baldacci in content with a predictable ending that was only redeemed by Scott Brick's usual stellar narration. I am confused by the timing of the release and its intention. The plot of the story seems to clearly indicate that it was written over ten years ago and yet its maketed as something new with a copywrite of 2011. Second, while I paid the cash price which was fair for the contentent, I like others would have been upset if I had used up a precious credit instead. I question the intent of Audibles marketing in this regard.
"OMG I wasted a credit"
It was my own fault, but I utilized a credit for a very predictable short story. It was 35 minutes, and very quickly I knew the ending. I love Badaci's work but I feel a bit ripped off.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

On the air since 1973, I have been active on the HF bands regularly with my main interest being LF band Dxing. CW is my favourite mode although I have been qrv on Data modes for a number of years. A keen interest in antenna construction and testing . Although recently due to health problems I can no longer do the amount I used to do. Been forced to retire so more time for radio now. I have been a keen contester over the years with awards gained in some of the World Wide Contests. Recently I have been an operator with the GR2HQ IARU contest team and a guest operator of GB5CC(Commonwealth Contest 2012) @ Qth of GM3WOJ. Also a member of FOC #1984. Present set up is an Elecraft K3 tranceiver with a 400w linear amplifier available when needed. Antennas are a home made CobWeb (nest of dipoles) for 14/18/21/24/28mhz up about 13mtrs. A Delta Loop for 40m and dipole for 80m also a top loaded vertical for 160m. 20ft Circumference coax rx loop and an active loop (LZ1AQ) for 160/80m PMSDR and Funcube+SDR receivers give me great panadaptor facilities as well.

Crispin Sheridan | January 9, 2013 | Comments
The power of social networking is being able to bring brands closer to their customers and potential customers in a faster, easier way than ever before.
Google+ Communities has rolled out and garnered a fair amount of buzz and approval across its user base. If you're not familiar, Google+ Communities gives brands the opportunity to take an active role in interacting with individuals in a discussion forum-type setting. Communities can be hyper-targeted to any niche, interest area, or group of like-minded people, similar to how Facebook Groups functions.
Google+ Communities are about starting real conversations with real people, and treating them more like people and less like opportunities to increase your site's traffic, according to Google. That's really the power of social networking - bringing brands closer to their customers and potential customers in a faster, easier way than ever before. In this post, we'll look at five distinct reasons on how leveraging Google+ Communities can positively influence your SEO goals.
Google+ has received its share of criticism since its debut, yet it's been continually rolling out new features and options designed to make the service more effective and easier to use. The addition of Communities on top of business profiles is a clear sign that Google is thinking specifically about brands. Now that Google has provided you with the tools to engage, has your organization taken the steps to begin doing so? If so, in what ways are you using Communities to further build your online presence?

This Moment - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words (or maybe a single sentence)- capturing a moment from the week. Perhaps a simple, special, extraordinary moment. Maybe a moment you want to pause, savor and remember. Maybe something that made you smile or laugh. Maybe a craft you are enjoying working on.... If you're inspired to do the same, share your 'moment' here each Friday. |

Endless Summer |
I need your help Deanne to get my "twist and shout" hydrangea to turn blue. I hope there's an acidifier that works because the pink looks silly (actually just plain WRONG!) in its location! That huge closeup could sell millions.... |
Jeesh Bug, I didn't do anything to turn mine blue. I had that pink thing going on because Doug had added a lot of lime to the compost which I added to that bed not realizing it would turn my shrub pink. Anyway, time has taken care of the problem and all my Endless Summers are now a lovely shade of blue. I'm surprised you have a pink hydrangea in your location. We are all about acid soil here. What about adding pine needles under it? Deanne |

At this point, it's easy to fall down a rabbit hole of second-order second-guessing. It's not particularly credible, for instance, that a libertarian engineer named Satoshi Nakamoto would never have heard of bitcoin until three weeks ago, and would, even after today's news, "mistakenly" call it "bitcom". What's more, Dorian's deny-everything reaction (and the official denial from Satoshi) is entirely consistent with Goodman's article.
But the fact is that if you believe that Dorian is Satoshi, you have to accept that there are still a lot of things which don't really add up. And conversely, if you believe that Dorian is not Satoshi, then you at the very least have to wonder at the astonishing number of coincidences that Goodman has uncovered.
Which means that the responsible thing to do, from Newsweek's perspective, would have been to present a thesis, rather than a fact. For instance, when Ted Nelson attempted to reveal Satoshi's identity last May, he put together a video where he put forward a theory which he said was "consistent, plausible, and, I believe, compelling". He then took a step back, and let the bitcoin community more generally come to their own conclusions about whether or not to believe him; in the end, they (generally) didn't.
Newsweek could have done that. It could have said "here's a theory", and then let the world decide. Many people would have believed the theory; others wouldn't. And lots of us would probably have changed our minds a few times as we weighed the evidence and as Dorian's own words came out.
But Newsweek didn't want a theory, it wanted a scoop. And so, faced with what was ultimately only circumstantial evidence, it went ahead and claimed that it had uncovered Satoshi — that, basically, it was 100% certain.
That decision was ill-advised. Newsweek certainly got lots of buzz for its return to print — but it's now getting just as much buzz for going to press with what is looking increasingly like a half-baked theory. Personally, I don't know whether Dorian is Satoshi — but I think I can be pretty safe in saying that the probability is somewhere in the range of, say, 10% to 90%. In other words, it's possible; it might even be probable; but it's not certain. And anybody who says that it is certain is wrong.
I believe that Goodman believes that Dorian is Satoshi. I believe that Jim Impoco, my ex-boss, who's now the editor of Newsweek, also believes that Dorian is Satoshi. But belief is not enough. Dan Rather believed that the Killian documents were genuine; Hugh Trevor-Roper believed that the Hitler diaries were genuine; Lara Logan believed that Dylan Davies was telling the truth about Benghazi. Big scoops are dangerous things.
It would have been less satisfying, for Newsweek, to leave a bit of wiggle room — to present the Dorian-is-Satoshi theory as just a theory, rather than as fact. But it is only a theory. And ultimately, it's always better to be Ariel Dorfman than it is to be Paulina Salas.

- Aketeru seemed really bothered by all this...he wasn't mentally ready for all this...he had constantly went through a long period in which innocent girls got killed by his childhood friend.....which didn't help since he couldn't believe his childhood friend did that, and he loved her so....all that didn't help how he was thinking....in addition, seeing a person, his teacher, get killed right in front of him...
As he thought about all this, he put his hand over his mouth and seemed sick and he didn't feel good at all. He was getting nauses, thinking about all the death and seeing first hand on how brutal and bloody they were....thinking that there are demons chasing him for some unknown reason just made him think more and more about the fact that there will be more death...he was REALLY close to throwing up as he looked unwell and his face had a really pale shade to it.

Has anyone else been getting antivirus software warnings on the gardenweb site the last few days? My AVG keeps telling me it's found 'potentially active malware' on the GW site. I've never seen this happen before, so not sure what's going on. Marj |
Follow-Up Postings:
I do believe something is going on. I was on a few web pages this morning and Norton warnings popped up. Can't remember exactly what it was. Will try to look through some of the log files. |
I just updated my spybot and AVG (free version), and then ran both on my whole computer. Spybot only found a couple of things, and AVG just said it protected from 7 threats recently. Nothing else was found by either, so guess that's good. But yea, something is going on with GW because the popup warnings I've had have only been when I'm on this site. Marj |

Jan. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Nigerian oil union Pengassan said it will only shut down oil output as "a last resort" in Africa's top crude producer to give more time for negotiations with President Goodluck Jonathan's government to end a strike now in the second week.
The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress, the country's two biggest labor federations, called the strike to protest against higher fuel prices after the government said on Jan. 1 it was ending subsidies it said cost 1.2 trillion naira ($7.4 billion) last year.
The two federations have asked Pengassan "to defer the shutting down of oil production and export," the union said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. The "the postponement will enable labor and civil society groups explore ongoing consultations and negotiations in resolving the current nationwide strike."
The work stoppage, which began Jan. 9, has limited trade in stocks and the naira, closed ports and banks and sparked street protests. The cost to sub-Saharan Africa's second-biggest economy may be more than $1 billion a day, according to Gregory Kronsten, head of macroeconomic research at FBN Capital Ltd. in London.
While oil output and exports remain unaffected by the strike, Pengassan is poised "to execute immediately the systematic shutdown of oil production should the negotiation with the government break down," the Lagos-based union said yesterday in an e-mailed statement.
Daily Output
Nigeria pumped about 2.2 million barrels of oil a day last month, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. At least 90 percent of Nigeria's crude is produced by Royal Dutch Shell Plc, based in The Hague; Exxon Mobil Corp.; San Ramon, California- based Chevron Corp.; Total SA and Eni SpA in joint ventures with the state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corp.
"We're holding the necessary consultations," Labor Minister Chukwuemeka Wogu told reporters in Abuja yesterday. "We expect to have an agreement soon."
The government's offer to reduce fuel prices falls short of the unions' demand for a full reversal and is unlikely to restore normalcy, the NLC and the TUC said in a joint statement yesterday. "For the avoidance of any doubt, the indefinite strikes, rallies and protests continue nationwide" as of Jan. 16.
Jonathan, who won a four-year term in April, had pledged to use savings to invest in power plants and roads in Africa's most populous country, which is roughly split between a mainly Muslim north and a predominantly Christian south.
Religious Violence
At the same time, he faces an increase in religious violence in parts of the north where he has declared a state of emergency and says Islamic militants pose a worse threat to the country than the 1967-70 civil war.
More than 85 people have died in bomb and gun attacks since Christmas Day on churches in Abuja and in the north that the authorities blame on Boko Haram, a militant Islamic group inspired by Afghanistan's Taliban movement.
Gasoline prices in Nigeria, where two-thirds of the population of about 164 million live on less than $1.25 a day, had been capped at 65 naira a liter (0.3 gallon), leading to a shortage of investment in refineries that forced the West African nation to import about 70 percent of its fuel.
In opposing Jonathan's reform, union leaders and protest groups have focused their criticisms on government waste and corruption, especially those associated with fuel imports and distribution.
Investigation of Payments
The president has approved the investigation of fuel-import payments and the prosecution of those found to have engaged in "any incidence of malfeasance, fraud, over-invoicing and related illegalities," Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison- Madueke said yesterday in an e-mailed statement.
"No matter what happens, the government's credibility is seriously dented, and they'll have to earn it back," Bismarck Rewane, analyst and chief executive officer of Lagos-based Financial Derivatives Co., said by phone. "The reality is that this is the beginning of new dispensation. People will demand proper governance, people will demand honesty."

Personnel Security Clearances:
An Outcome-Focused Strategy and Comprehensive Reporting of Timeliness and Quality Would Provide Greater Visibility over the Clearance Process
GAO-10-117T: Published: Oct 1, 2009. Publicly Released: Oct 1, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3604
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This testimony discusses the key recommendations from the two reports we recently released, which include (1) the need for a fully developed strategic framework for the reform process that includes outcome-focused performance measures to show progress and (2) more transparency in annually reporting to Congress on the timeliness and quality of the clearance process. This testimony is based on our review of the Joint Reform Team's plans, as well as our work on DOD's security clearance process, which includes reviews of clearance-related files and interviews of senior officials at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), DOD, Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), and OPM. In addition, this statement is based on key practices and implementation steps for mergers and organizational transformations. We conducted our work on both reports between March 2008 and May 2009 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain sufficient, appropriate evidence to provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. We believe that the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives.
Although the high-level leadership and governance structure of the current reform effort distinguish it from previous efforts, it is difficult to gauge progress of reform, or determine if corrective action is needed, because the council, through the Joint Reform Team, has not established a method for evaluating the progress of the reform efforts. Without a strategic framework that fully addresses the long-standing security clearance problems and incorporates key practices for transformation--including the ability to demonstrate progress leading to desired results--the Joint Reform Team is not in a position to demonstrate to decision makers the extent of progress that it is making toward achieving its desired outcomes, and the effort is at risk of losing momentum and not being fully implemented. In addition to limited visibility over timeliness of clearances, the executive branch's annual reports to Congress on the personnel security clearance process have provided decision makers with limited data on quality, and the executive branch has missed opportunities to make the clearance process transparent to Congress. For example, we independently estimated that 87 percent16 of about 3,500 investigative reports prepared by OPM that DOD adjudicators (employees who decide whether to grantclearance to an applicant based on the investigation and other information) used to make clearance decisions, for initial top secret clearances adjudicated in July 2008, were missing required documentation. Because neither OPM nor DOD measures the completeness of their investigative reports or adjudicative files, both agencies are limited in their ability to explain the extent to which or the reasons why some documents are incomplete. Incomplete documentation may lead to increases in the time needed to complete the clearance process and in the overall costs of the process and may reduce the assurance that appropriate safeguards are in place to prevent DOD from granting clearances to untrustworthy individuals. We have stated that timeliness alone does not provide a complete picture of the clearance process and emphasized that attention to quality could increase reciprocity--accepting another federal entity's clearances--and the executive branch, though not required to include information on quality in its annual reports, has latitude to report appropriate information. We are encouraged that, while the 2009 report did not provide any data on quality, unlike previous reports it did identify quality metrics that the executive branch proposes to collect.

Anyone who caught seasons four and five of CMT's "Trick My Truck" may remember cast member Kelvin Locklear as the lead designer.
Kelvin, 37, and his wife, April, 32, own K&L Collision Center and Outcast Kustoms on Rolling Hills Road in Mooresville's Lakeside Business Park. They purchased the building from Bahari Racing in August and moved to Mooresville along with their three sons.They simultaneously operate the collision center for trucks and RVs and film a reality television show based on their custom-made vehicles, which they call "Outcast Kustoms."The Locklears moved from Florence, S.C., where they owned and operated K&L Collision Center and K&L Chrome Shop. Both Kelvin and April came from families involved in the trucking industry; they met when April's father bought a trailer from Kelvin. They were married in 1999 and opened a chrome shop in Florence.As sales grew in the chrome shop, Kelvin began looking into ways to branch out his business. He learned how to make bumpers and how to paint trucks, and then his interest grew into collision work."When the economy went down," said April, "we learned real fast that we needed to do collision work more instead of other work, because collision work was steady work. That transitioned us real quick into collision work."The Locklears still run the two shops in Florence as well as the collision repair and custom car business in Mooresville.Over the years, they have gotten a reputation for building any kind of custom part they, or their customers, can imagine.The shop in Mooresville is an astounding 45,000 square feet. The Locklears have about nine employees. Ted Musgrave runs the shop, and Ron Horniday is his right-hand man. Workers arrive in shifts to keep the jobs running smoothly."We try to give everybody a fair warning," said April. "If you are here more than 30 minutes, you are going to have a wrench in your hand. Or sandpaper. Or something!"Kelvin agreed: "Don't come by and visit without intending to work," he said.The "Outcast Kustoms" show is due to air in April on the newly launched Discovery Velocity Channel. Its job is to custom-build vehicles for corporations."We are going to take a used vehicle and turn it into a corporation's image," said April.Outcast Kustoms is currently working on a bus for Krispy Kreme. The doughnut company's 75th anniversary is this year, and Outcast Kustoms is outfitting a bus for its representatives to make more than 200 stops across the country. Recently, the Locklears picked up the next vehicle they will be transforming, one for Bristol Motor Speedway.Outcast Kustoms is partnering with the Mooresville-based production company Hammerhead Entertainment, which is owned by NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., to produce the show. Kelvin believes the relationship between Outcast Kustoms and Hammerhead Entertainment was the right fit for two reasons: Both Kelvin Locklear and Earnhardt have been involved in reality television and have similar groups of fans.The Locklears insist that, despite the notoriety that comes with their TV exposure, they are still "normal" - they don't travel in private planes, and they still run to Wal-Mart when they are out of milk. They bought an old English bulldog puppy for their kids, appropriately named "Miss Diesel."The Locklears, both North Carolina natives, are just glad to be in North Carolina."I am glad to be back home, in God's country, in Tar Heel Country!" said Kelvin.Wednesday, Jan. 04, 2012

This is something I've noticed playing against Fiddlesticks and IMO needs to be changed - his Ult. I don't mind the damage it does, which is a ton with an AP build, and I remember when they added the blink to it so that people had a harder time running away once they saw him storm in with his ult on (though if you have someone that times it perfectly, man its harsh). What I'd like really the change is the ability for Fiddle to CAST while performing his ult. Change it to a channeling move. Its a bit ridiculous to be able to have a constant damaging AOE ult with the amount of dmg it does, while still being allowed to cast Fear (now you can't escape), Crows, and Life Drain. If I'm stunned from another champs move and forced to stay within the ult, that's fine. But there is just too much control coming from Fiddle with his ult, I feel. Bash this all you want. Agree or disagree. Just something I'd like to see have changed to making it not feel so OP to me. Nothing else really needs to change on him, just this.

So Fiddle now has a damage ult that roots him, getting stunned/moving/silence ends the damage, and there's nothing stopping from people walking out of range of the ult?
IT will really make him noob and require no input. It takes soem skill to quickly fire off those fears and get the right leach. What I think needs changed is that Fear should only disable offensive skills. You should still be able to use defensive skills(Taric heal, Sivir spell shield, etc).
It's pretty stupid how much damage it does. A friend did some simple math and it turned out to be about 900 damage per second (ult + drain life). This is before AP. Adding crows and fear you're basically mens warehoused a kill.
Ramus can do the same and Fiddlestick is way weaker than him, when i play ramus i feel OP, Fiddelstick just rely on drain if ult is not ready to do damage thats why i think is OK if developers gave him an OP ulti.
either he shouldnt be able to cast other spells when his ult is active. or it should have its duration increased, but the damage per second reduced. it wouldnt be quite so bad if it didnt do all of the massive damage in the span of 1-2 seconds.
Tip of the day: His ult is roughly 150 Seconds, your Flash (that you should have) is almost on the same timer. The result? You can flash out as soon as fiddles lands his ult near you. Another solution? Stack MR and his ult wont hurt as much. Another solution? Grab a Banshee's veil and he can't fear you, and simple run out of range, since fiddles is so damn slow. This is where I'd like to say: Learn to play. That is all, Xico

On Demand 2002 More People Per Inch?
June 2002A case in point was the joint announcement by Océ Printing Systems USA and Quebecor World about the latter's implementation of a digital system designed to produce book runs of under 1,000 copies. The system components include an Océ PRISMA book publishing front end, two Océ DemandStream 8090cx printers and an off-line finishing setup, including a Standard Horizon BQ-460 perfect binder and HT-70 three-knife trimmer.
In a related move, Muller Martini and Océ announced they were teaming up to offer in-line book production. Muller Martini says it is offering an enhanced version of its AmigoPlus perfect binder, called AmigoDigital, which features electronic and mechanical interface modules that enable it to work in-line with a variety of digital printing systems to produce paperbacks at speeds up to 1,000 cycles per hour.
R.R. Donnelley revealed it plans to go this route with its first Inventory Management Solution (IMS), a book-on-demand soft-cover publishing system built around the Nipson VaryPress. The complete IMS system reportedly will produce more than 500 books per hour.
Xerox Corp. introduced enhancements to its Book Factory product line and in-line finishing options for its other printing systems.

My dog found where they've been coming from and it is a tree that is coming up right at my houses foundation. I'm hoping if I rid this tree the caterpillars will follow suit. They are everywhere. Do they leave most landscape plants alone? I'll be very angry if they ruin the few plans I've got coming up that already seem later than usual. |

No, they pretty much like to munch on chokecherry trees and the like. Get that tree out. If it's chokecherry, any taller than 4-5' and it's hard to remove. Your other plants should be just fine (at least from the tent caterpillars) If they're tent caterpillars, you should see the typical webby nest nearby. |

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
Well basically you could be living for free for the cost of surrogacy. Your vehicle, home, utilities, food etc.. can all be paid for. Now this income comes to you in a mere check form monthly. That doesn't mean you're putting the money towards this area. There is nothing stopping someone from receiving government/state assistance while doing surrogacy because it's not reported to the IRS. Why not? Because it's not "earned income" it's "compensation". Now if I was paying someone for a service. I would be legally obligated to report it and pay taxes on it. The wording on surrogacy is very touchy and it's not taxed going through an agency. (I tried to help someone on their taxes with this issue before). The contracts more or less read that payments are compensation regarding pain/suffering and/or pre-birth child support. Neither of which are services or taxable.. It doesn't appear to be taxable.. but it's not unheard of for a very very few agencies to send a 1099 (which is even stranger). Last edited by DJPlayer; 03-06-2013 at 12:14 PM..

You seemed to be in horror that I would try to expand the definition of genocide as if it was something only people "off their rocker" would do. I simply supported my idea with Ecuador's and France's CURRENT ideas on genocide.
BTW, who determines what qualifies for birth defects? Who determines what caused these birth defects? 10% are caused by specific agents that the mother comes in contact with, 20% are genetically related; should the mother (and father) be charged with child endangerment if they attempt to get pregnant and don't do their due diligence in finding out their risks? I mean really, they have established the right to terminate the pregnancy by their arbitrary parameters, should there be other parameters that also apply legally? What about a drug corporation? Or a factory next to family homes? What about a false positive birth defect test? I know, I know it's MUCH easier to just abort and move on and deny responsibility. That's probably the best case. Take risks to have a child, but you don't accept the outcome. Do all people with Down's Syndrome contribute to society? What about cri du chat syndrome? Or Prader-Willi syndrome? Should they be killed? It so simple isn't it? You decide what you want and if anything severe arises, you have the power to destroy it. Would you do the same for a 5 year old with Hutchinson-Guilford Progeria Syndrome? Or Batten's disease? Those are even more common than rape and incest abortions. Which if you must know I would encourage the woman to have the child and allow for adoption. I support medical surgeries if the woman is in physical/mortal danger. That is not a yes or no question, but thanks for the bifurcation. Last edited by Favrerox; 03-06-2013 at 01:06 PM..

A $50 bounty for killing a baby is equivalent to $5,000 for an average low-income citizen in the US or Europe. Perhaps $200 might be more reasonable figure but it's just a matter of degree. The point is, life is very cheap in Third World countries. Kharvel's First Law: Greed is Good™

So wait, you compare my statement using your logic and find it doesn't fit with your agenda and dismiss it? You seem to think it's ok to pick and chose in that scenario but it's deplorable to pick and chose what birth defects a parent would want to abort their kid for? Who is denying responsibility? Surely not the parents. They're making the horribly conscious decision to abort their unborn child. You make it seem as though that's an easy thing to do. As far as deciding what constitutes birth defects or even if that's a factor or not it's obviously the parents and really at the end of the day it's really only the mother. I'm pretty sure tough most people who aren't driven solely by their emotion or religious belief (and even then most who are) would agree that a brain cyst and a severely jacked up heart would constitute a birth defect. As far as offing someone who has been born that's called murder and obviously is against the law. Abortion thankfully isn't. We get it, you're effectively 100% against abortion. I on the other hand am 100% for a womans right to chose. It's their body, it's their choice, and while I don't personally think a court in this instance should, let alone could, force the surrogate to abort the parents should have a right to damages and the financial burden to care for the child should fall squarely on the surrogate or the more likely the shoulder will be society. That's fine, that's a debatable discussion. Saying however that this is genocide and that the parents are trying to have the baby aborted because of something akin to it not having blond hair or blue eyes is ridiculous and that's where everyone in this thread, other than you, disagrees with you. Maybe you don't see it but all you're doing is cheapening the horror that those who truly are victims of genocide actually endured. This Ecuadorian and France definition which you've misinterpreted actually means something on the lines of forced sterilization. Again, using your insanely flawed logic are you actually suggesting that those couples who chose to not have any children are committing genocide? I mean, they face financial or social measures (namely not wanting a kid) and as a result of don't have children. Lastly, it's not like this surrogate is being prohibited from having this child, or another one of her own so your position is pretty much full of shit. Still not seeing the ridiculousness? Let me summarize it for you. I mean seriously, comparing a non-memory the fetus will never have to being yanked from your home, torn from your family, tattooed with a number, being forced to work in labor camps in freezing temperature without much food, water, or clothes and tortured until you die is literally the most ridiculous thing I and probably most people in here have ever read on this site and that's saying a lot... Last edited by LivninSC; 03-06-2013 at 01:35 PM.. |
You see no similarity between Nazi Germany, Rwanda, Dafur or whatever you consider genocidal events where people made decisions on whether groups lived or died and acted on those decisions. ...and abortion, where people make decisions on whether groups (unborn babies) live or die and act on those decisions? You may feel the abortion "choice" is noble, or humane, or preventing a greater tragedy; but I would wager that the aforementioned did also. There is no difference. People are making decisions to end another human's life. Whether that life is 20 days or 20 years doesn't matter. Wiggle all you want and cry ridiculousness and shock at my comparison, but at the end of the day it stands as true. One last question: If the aborted could cognitively defend themselves, would you still agree to abortion? |
Basically everything is dependent on you being born. You can't vote 18 years from your conception, you can't drink 21 years from your conception. It's based on your birth date... That "argument" only stands true in your mind. Something that has been aborted can't do anything anymore... Now if you actually had your wits about you what you should have said was whether a fetus can cognitively defend themselves... That question is moot because a fetus can't cognitively defend itself. Let's say I say that sure you need to cognitively be able to defend yourself what does that mean to killing babies? I mean, a baby can't cognitively defend itself so it would be ok to kill it right? What matters in this, and the only thing that matters, is being born, becoming a person and no longer being part of another and it is that very clear and cut action that grants you a huge # of rights. Just being along for the ride doesn't. Last edited by LivninSC; 03-06-2013 at 03:05 PM.. |
The only sheep here are the close minded who think their religious views are the correct one and be damned everyone else. It's ironic that he chose to use the term sheep when his numero uno group is even positively referred to as their pastors flock. Atleast the rest of us are open to other peoples ideas and have atleast a basic vocabulary... |

The only evaluation and treatment program in Queens for 9/11 responders is in jeopardy of closing if the federal government does not allocate funds soon.
"There is no new money for the program and its continuation is based on passage of the Zadroga bill," said Lauri Boni, administrative director of the World Trade Center Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program Queens Clinical Center in Flushing. "We are in a holding pattern and will close without the money."
The Flushing center is part of a consortium of five clinics in Manhattan, Staten Island, the Hudson Valley, Long Island and New Jersey. They are all awaiting passage of the federal bill named after a city police detective, James Zadroga, who died in 2006 at the age of 34 due to respiratory problems. He worked an estimated 450 hours at Ground Zero as part of the recovery and cleanup efforts following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack.
The bill would provide $12 billion over a 10-year period to guarantee testing and care of 9/11 emergency responders and would reopen the victims compensation fund. The Flushing center operates on $2.5 million a year.
Located at 163-03 Horace Harding Expressway, the facility is run by Queens College's Center for the Biology of Natural Systems. The center began providing health monitoring exams for more than 1,000 Ground Zero workers in 2002.
Four years later, the facility received federal money to evaluate and treat 9/11 workers, police officers and other first responders to the World Trade Center area. The Fire Department has its own program.
What these workers didn't realize was the toxic fumes and dust they inhaled at the scene would make them sick later, according to Dr. Wajdy L. Hailoo, medical director of the Flushing monitoring and treatment program. "These are very sick people suffering from a variety of chronic conditions," Hailoo said.
Although the health conditions vary, the center has seen patients suffering from throat and sinus problems and acid reflux to mental health issues, but mostly lung and upper airway problems. Asthma is particularly high among the first responders.
The facility has seen 3,000 patients, with 20 percent treated actively. That's about 600 people up to six times a year. Most are from Queens or Brooklyn.
One of those patients is Freddy Noboa, 55, of Glendale, a paramedic supervisor at New York Hospital Queens in Flushing when the attack occurred. He led a team of medics on 9/11 and stayed two weeks to help in the rescue and recovery operation.
Saying he was never sick a day in his life prior to the attack, he now is on full disability taking medications for various ailments including asthma, depression and diabetes. Noboa first became ill in 2003 with symptoms of asthma and later was evaluated by the program.
"If the program didn't exist, I don't think I'd be around," he said. "They pay for all my medications and are fantastic; just like a family to me."
He goes in for monitoring every 45 days and says if the federal government doesn't fund the program, "it would be a slap in the face to the first responders. No one ever said it was toxic down there."
Married and the father of two grown children, Noboa also suffers from depression, anxiety and anger brought on by post-traumatic stress syndrome. "Talking to the therapist helps," he said. "I was never an angry person before; now I try not to drive because I have road rage."
A 47-year-old Bellerose man who works for the Police Department in its motor fleet, goes to the Flushing center once a year for a physical. He asked that his name not be used.
Although the man does not suffer from any illness now, he worked on police vehicles that were at Ground Zero and were covered in dust. "The cars were so bad we had to take them apart and some we just scrapped," he said.
The NYPD employee indicated they were only required by law to test for asbestos, not realizing there were other toxic inhalants involved. "I don't know the long-term effects and I'm trying to be cautious; you never know," he said.
He would hate to see the monitoring program end, calling it a really good program.
Hailoo is hopeful the funding will be approved, "because there is such a need. It is difficult to imagine patients going anywhere else for treatment since environmental exposure is not well understood by local doctors. Such patients need specialized care," he said.
The medical director was a professor of occupational environmental medicine at Stony Brook University for 17 years and before that worked at Mt. Sinai Hospital. He calls his current work very challenging.
Hailoo believes some of the patients may require treatment for a long time. "The program provides that. There is a need indefinitely," he said.
Boni hopes the appropriations will be passed by the fall because current funding has already expired. "It would be hard for the government to back down on this," she said. "A commitment has to be made. You can't just pull the plug on such patients."
She noted that many of the patients, such as Noboa, aren't able to work. The average age is 40 to 45.
As both Boni and Hailoo pointed out, there was a rush to clean up the World Trade Center area, yet little has been done on the site since then. "What was the rush?" she asked. "Why did it have to be cleaned up in eight months?"
They added that the federal Environmental Protection Agency said it was safe to work at Ground Zero and many workers did not wear protective gear or respirators. "There were guidelines in place but they weren't followed," Boni said.
Noboa, who is pretty much confined to his home because of asthma, said he did consider health factors when he was working at Ground Zero, but, "I didn't think it would be that toxic and take ahold of me. I never thought I'd get this sick."
He described himself at Ground Zero as covered in dust, like a snowstorm, that burned his skin. He did not wear a mask.
"Now, I feel like a prisoner. This is not the life I expected to live," Noboa said.
The center is open Monday through Thursday. Staff members are still seeing new patients, who either didn't know about the program or felt they didn't need it. Some have new symptoms.
